Yep, it's the 32140 "five hole one bend" beam, with this basic shape: o + (...) (25 years ago, 22-Sep-99, to lugnet.technic)

In the US S@H catalog, alt. model pictures show that the new beam, too, has 9 holes, albeit 2+corner+6 rather than 3+corner+5. I've (...) (25 years ago, 22-Sep-99, to lugnet.technic)

This is according to Huw Millington, who has the part in questions himself. (...) In LDraw, we call these (...) (25 years ago, 29-Sep-99, to lugnet.technic)
